"Living in Boston has made me aware of the costs visitors incur when traveling here. However, I was most pleasantly surprised when I went looking for a room and found an incredible price at this hotel. The location is excellent. I felt like I could reach out my window and touch the John Hancock. The room was also very nice: clean, comfortable, and it had everything needed to make my stay most pleasant."

"You will not find a better staff with a genuine focus on customer experience than Hotel 140. Our group enjoyed their assistance with last minute dinner reservations, photos in the lobby, and a welcoming attitude. The larger chain hotels may offer these services, however the staff at Hotel 140 truly enjoys helping their guests make the most of their stay."
